Abstract (en)

A fast technique for transferring units of data between transaction systems in a shared disk environment. The owning system, having updated the page, generates a version number for the page which is stored with a lock possessed by the owning system. When a requesting system seeks a record on the page, its request for a lock illicit an indication that a more recent version of the page is required in the local memory. The buffer management component of a DBMS, with assistance from the lock management, triggers a memory to memory transfer of the page from the owning DBMS to the requesting DBMS using a low overhead communication protocol. The transfer of page is without disk I/O or the log I/O for the updates made to the page.
